Background: Emotional schemas and academic emotions are among the most critical factors influencing students' academic self-efficacy. These factors play a fundamental role in academic achievement by regulating emotions and behaviors related to learning. A deeper understanding of the relationships among these variables and examining the mediating role of academic emotions can provide valuable insights for improving learning quality and achieving academic success.
Aims: This study aimed to model the relationship between emotional schemas and academic self-efficacy with the mediating role of academic emotions in high school girls.
Methods: This descriptive study employed a correlational design and structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population consisted of all high school girls in Mashhad during the 2023–2024 academic year. Based on a rule of thumb for SEM, a sample of 690 students was selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected using the Emotional Schemas Scale (Leahy, 2002), the Academic Emotions Scale (Pekrun et al., 2002), and the Academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (Mazaheri & Sadeghi, 2015). Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics and SEM with SPSS 25 and AMOS 24 software.
Results: The results indicated a good fit for the model examining the relationship between emotional schemas and academic self-efficacy with the mediating role of academic emotions in high school girls (p< 0.001). Significant relationships were found between emotional schemas and both academic emotions and academic self-efficacy (p< 0.001). Additionally, a significant relationship was observed between academic emotions and academic self-efficacy (p< 0.001). Academic emotions mediated the relationship between emotional schemas and academic self-efficacy (p< 0.001).
Conclusion: According to the research findings, positive emotional schemas and adaptive academic emotions directly enhance students' academic self-efficacy. It is recommended that emotional skill training, particularly through psychological programs, be implemented in schools to improve academic self-efficacy.
